This was an enjoyable and engaging book that blended Fantasy and History. In post civil war America, black girls get sent to schools to learn how to fight the undead, whixhs tarted rising at the end of the civil war. Jane attends this school and learns how to fight back against racism and the undead. Excellent story.  Really engaging.
